Smell is different than the taste. Smells a bit odd and sour, with some spice. Yet taste is very malt forward and overwhelmingly sweet, with a bit of a spiciness. Sweetness lingers on the finish. No noticeable hop presence to balance it out. Hard to finish as it is so sweet and strong. WNBA.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a dark bronze color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of oak, dark fruits. Taste is oak, alcohol, dark fruits, malts, a light sweetness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a good quality beer.

Had this on tap at Sovereign in Plainfield IL.A - Pours amber colored with a small head but lots of lacing.S - I did not notice much aroma at all. T - Tastes like raisins or prunes, in a good way!M - Medium thick mouth feel, low carbonation.O - This is a very good winter beer. I'm sorry to say I've been walking past this beer at my local liquor store.

This was hands down one of the best beers I have ever had. It went down effortlessly. Beautiful colour, smell, but the taste blew it off of the charts. I have had most of Founders offerings, and I didn't think they could top the triple. They did, this was absolutely amazing!!!
